Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to a rocker arm assembly for use in a valve train assembly and more particularly to a rocker arm assembly that has an oil release valve that operates as an accumulator.
- Compression engine brakes can be used as auxiliary brakes, in addition to wheel brakes, on relatively large vehicles, for example trucks, powered by heavy or medium duty diesel engines.
- a compression engine braking system is arranged, when activated, to provide an additional opening of an engine cylinder's exhaust valve when the piston in that cylinder is near a top-dead-center position of its compression stroke so that compressed air can be released through the exhaust valve. This causes the engine to function as a power consuming air compressor which slows the vehicle.
- the exhaust valve is actuated by a rocker arm which engages the exhaust valve by means of a valve bridge.
- the rocker arm rocks in response to a cam on a rotating cam shaft and presses down on the valve bridge which itself presses down on the exhaust valve to open it.
- a hydraulic lash adjuster may also be provided in the valve train assembly to remove any lash or gap that develops between the components in the valve train assembly.
- An exhaust valve rocker arm assembly operable in a combustion engine mode and an engine braking mode can include a rocker shaft and a rocker arm.
- the rocker shaft can define a pressurized oil supply conduit.
- the rocker arm can receive the rocker shaft and is configured to rotate around the rocker shaft.
- the rocker arm can have an oil supply passage and an accumulator piston housing defined therein.
- a valve bridge can engage a first exhaust valve and a second exhaust valve.
- a hydraulic lash adjuster assembly can be disposed on the rocker arm having a first plunger body movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the first plunger body extends rigidly for cooperative engagement with the valve bridge.
- a check valve can be disposed on the rocker arm and have an actuator that selectively releases pressure in the hydraulic lash adjuster.
- An accumulator assembly can be disposed in the rocker arm.
- the accumulator assembly can include an accumulator piston that translates within the accumulator piston housing between closed and open positions.
- the accumulator assembly can be configured to store a predetermined amount of oil when the first plunger body moves toward the first position.
- the accumulator assembly further comprises an accumulator spring that biases the accumulator piston toward the closed position. In the closed position, oil is inhibited from entering the accumulator piston housing.
- the accumulator assembly can further define a release hole formed in the rocker arm. The release hole fluidly connects with the piston housing. Oil is released from the piston housing through the release hole upon the accumulator piston translating a predetermined amount.
- pressurized oil is communicated through the pressurized oil supply conduit, through the rocker arm oil supply passage and against the actuator such that the first plunger occupies the first position and acts on the valve bridge during rotation of the rocker arm to a first angle opening the first valve a predetermined distance while the second valve remains closed.
- the hydraulic lash adjuster assembly is at least partially received by a first bore defined on the rocker arm.
- the hydraulic lash adjuster assembly further comprises a second plunger body that is at least partially received by the first plunger body.
- the second plunger body can define a valve seat.
- the check valve can be disposed between the first and second plunger bodies.
- the check valve can further comprise a check ball that selectively seats against the valve seat on the second plunger body.
- the actuator can further comprise a needle having a longitudinal pin portion and a disk portion.
- pressurized oil acts against the disk portion moving the longitudinal pin portion a distance away from the check ball.
- the disk portion of the actuator can be received in a second bore defined in the rocker arm.
- the first and second bores can be collinear.
- rotation of the rocker arm to a second predetermined angle disconnects the oil supply passage from the pressurized oil supply conduit.
- the rocker shaft can further define a vent channel.
- Rotation of the rocker arm to a third predetermined angle connects the oil supply passage to a vent channel releasing the oil pressure from the actuator.
- a spigot can be disposed on the rocker arm. In the engine braking mode, subsequent to the opening of the first valve the predetermined distance, further rotation of the rocker arm causes the spigot to move the valve bridge and open the second valve while further opening the first valve.
- the spigot can be configured to slidably translate along a passage defined in the rocker arm prior to moving the valve bridge.
- An exhaust valve rocker arm assembly operable in a combustion engine mode and an engine braking mode can include a rocker shaft that defines a pressurized oil supply conduit.
- a rocker arm can receive the rocker shaft and be configured to rotate around the rocker shaft.
- the rocker arm can have an oil supply passage and an accumulator piston housing defined therein.
- a valve bridge can engage a first exhaust valve and a second exhaust valve.
- a first plunger body can be movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the first plunger body extends rigidly for cooperative engagement with the valve bridge.
- An actuator can selectively release pressure acting against the first plunger body.
- An accumulator assembly can be disposed in the rocker arm.
- the accumulator assembly can include an accumulator piston that translates within the accumulator piston housing between closed and open positions.
- the accumulator assembly can be configured to store a predetermined amount of oil when the first plunger body moves toward the first position.

- pressurized oil can be communicated through the pressurized oil supply conduit, through the rocker arm oil supply passage and against the actuator such that the first plunger occupies the first position and acts on the valve bridge during rotation of the rocker arm to a first angle opening the first valve a predetermined distance while the second valve remains closed.
- rotation of the rocker arm to a second predetermined angle disconnects the oil supply passage from the pressurized oil supply circuit.
- the rocker shaft can further define a vent channel.
- Rotation of the rocker arm to a third predetermined angle connects the oil supply passage to a vent channel releasing the oil pressure from the actuator.
- a spigot can be disposed on the rocker arm.
- subsequent to the opening of the first valve the predetermined distance further rotation of the rocker arm causes the spigot to move the valve bridge and open the second valve while further opening the first valve.
- a second plunger body can be at least partially received by the first plunger body.
- the second plunger body can define a valve seat.
- a check valve can be disposed between the first and second plunger bodies.
- the check valve can further include a check ball that selectively seats against the valve seat on the second plunger body.

- a partial valve train assembly constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure is shown and generally identified at reference 10 .
- the partial valve train assembly 10 utilizes engine braking and is shown configured for use in a three-cylinder bank portion of a six-cylinder engine. It will be appreciated however that the present teachings are not so limited. In this regard, the present disclosure may be used in any valve train assembly that utilizes engine braking.
- the partial valve train assembly 10 can include a rocker assembly housing 12 that supports a rocker arm assembly 20 having a series of intake valve rocker arm assemblies 28 and a series of exhaust valve rocker arm assemblies 30 .
- a rocker shaft 34 is received by the rocker housing 30 .
- the rocker shaft 34 cooperates with the rocker arm assembly 20 and more specifically to the exhaust valve rocker arm assemblies 30 to communicate oil to the exhaust valve rocker arm assemblies 30 during engine braking.
- the exhaust valve rocker arm assembly 30 can generally include a rocker arm 40 , a valve bridge 42 , a spigot assembly 44 , a hydraulic lash adjuster (HLA) assembly 46 and an accumulator assembly 48 .
- the valve bridge 42 engages a first and second exhaust valve 50 and 52 ( FIG. 3 ) associated with a cylinder of an engine (not shown).
- the first and second exhaust valves 50 and 52 have a corresponding elephant foot or E-foot 50 a and 52 a .
- the E-feet 50 a and 52 a allow the valve bridge 42 to move without creating any side load on the corresponding valve stem 50 and 52 .
- the E-foot 50 a is spherical.
- the E-foot 52 a is cylindrical.
- a pushrod 54 ( FIG. 3 ) moves upward and downward based on a lift profile of a cam shaft (not shown). Upward movement of the pushrod 54 pushes an arm 56 fixed to the rocker arm 40 and in turn causes the rocker arm 40 to rotate counter-clockwise around the rocker shaft 34 .
- the HLA assembly 46 can comprise a plunger assembly 60 including a first plunger body 62 and a second plunger body 64 .
- the second plunger body 64 can be partially received by the first plunger body 62 .
- the plunger assembly 60 is received by a first bore 66 defined in the rocker arm 40 .
- the first plunger body 64 can have a first closed end 68 that defines a first spigot 70 which is received in a first socket 72 that acts against the valve bridge 42 .
- the second plunger body 64 has an opening that defines a valve seat 76 ( FIG. 4 ).
- a check ball assembly 80 can be positioned between the first and second plunger bodies 62 and 64 .

- a snap ring 92 nests in a radial groove provided in the first bore 66 of the rocker arm 40 . The snap ring 92 retains the first plunger body 62 in the first bore 66 .
- An actuator or needle 100 is received in a second bore 104 of the rocker arm 40 .
- the needle 100 acts as an actuator that selectively releases pressure in the HLA assembly 46 .
- the actuator 100 , the check ball assembly 80 and the valve seat 76 collectively operate as a check valve 102 ( FIG. 3 ).
- the needle 100 includes a longitudinal pin portion 110 and an upper disk portion 112 .
- a first cap 116 is fixed to the rocker arm 40 at the second bore 104 and captures a biasing member 120 therein.
- the biasing member 120 acts between the first cap 116 and the upper disk portion 112 of the needle 100 . In the example shown, the biasing member 120 biases the needle 100 downwardly as viewed in FIG. 3 .
- the spigot assembly 44 can generally include a second spigot 130 having a distal end that is received by a second socket 132 and a proximal end that extends into a third bore 136 defined in the rocker arm 40 .
- a collar 138 can extend from an intermediate portion of the second spigot 130 .
- the second spigot 130 can extend through a passage 139 formed through the rocker arm 40 .
- a second cap 140 is fixed to the rocker arm 40 at the third bore 136 and captures a biasing member 144 therein.
- the biasing member 144 acts between the second cap 140 and a snap ring 148 fixed to the proximal end of the second spigot 130 .
- the second spigot 130 remains in contact with the rocker arm 40 and is permitted to translate along its axis within the passage 139 .
- the rocker shaft 34 can define a central pressurized oil supply conduit 152 , a vent oil passage or conduit 154 , a lubrication conduit 156 and a lash adjuster oil conduit 180 .
- the vent oil conduit 154 can have a vent lobe 157 extending generally parallel to an axis of the rocker shaft 34 and transverse to the vent oil conduit 154 .
- a connecting passage 158 ( FIG. 11 ) can connect the central pressurized oil supply conduit 152 with an oil supply passage 160 defined in the rocker arm 40 .
- the pressurized oil supply conduit 152 , the connecting passage 158 and the oil supply passage 160 cooperate to supply pressurized oil to the second bore 104 to urge the upper disk portion 112 of the needle 100 upward.
- the vent lobe 157 will align with the oil supply conduit causing oil to be vented away from the second bore 104 through the vent oil conduit.
- the second spring 120 will urge the needle 100 downward such that the longitudinal pin 110 will act against the ball 90 and move the ball away from the valve seat 76 . Oil is then permitted to flow through the valve seat 76 and out of the HLA assembly 46 through the lash adjuster oil conduit 180 ( FIG. 10 ).
- the accumulator assembly 48 generally includes an accumulator piston 210 , an accumulator spring 212 , an accumulator snap ring 218 and an accumulator washer 220 .
- the accumulator piston 210 slidably translates within a piston housing 226 that defines a release hole 230 .
- the piston housing 226 provides an additional oil volume on the rocker arm 40 .
- the accumulator piston 210 is normally pushed to its maximum extension (closed position) by the accumulator spring 212 .
- a predetermined volume of oil is pushed into the piston housing 226 against the accumulator piston 210 , moving the accumulator piston to an open position.
- This volume of oil is accumulated or stored within the piston housing 226 until the plunger assembly 60 sucks the oil back during the extension stroke.
- the accumulator piston 210 is configured to accumulate a limited amount of oil. Beyond the predetermined amount, any additional oil volume generated by an extended collapsing stroke of the plunger assembly 60 will push the accumulator piston 210 backward (leftward as viewed in FIG. 3A ) until translating beyond the release hole 230 . This additional oil is released through the release hole 230 .
- the exhaust rocker arm assembly 30 can operate in a default combustion engine mode with engine braking off and an engine braking mode ( FIGS. 4-8 ).
- an oil control valve 152 is closed (not energized).
- the oil supply passage 160 defined in the rocker arm 40 has low pressure such as around 0.3 bar. Other pressures may be used.
- the biasing member 120 With low pressure, the biasing member 120 will force the needle 100 in a downward direction causing the longitudinal pin portion 110 to urge the ball 90 away from the valve seat 76 .
- the check ball assembly 80 is therefore open causing the HLA assembly 46 to become “soft” and not influencing a downward force upon the valve bridge 42 .
- FIG. 3A Oil is flowing from connecting passage 158 to oil supply passage 160 causing the longitudinal pin portion 110 extending from the upper disk portion 112 to be urged upward keeping the check ball 90 closed and the HLA assembly 46 solid. As shown in FIG. 3A , oil is also reaching the HLA assembly 46 through passage 240 but the pressure is not high enough to move the piston 210 .
- FIG. 3B identifies valve lift and cam degrees for the condition shown in FIGS. 3 and 3A .
- FIG. 4-4B the rocker arm 40 has rotated further counter-clockwise around the rocker shaft 34 .
- Oil is flowing from the connecting passage 158 to the oil supply passage 160 causing the longitudinal pin portion 110 to be urged upward keeping the check ball 90 closed and the HLA assembly 46 solid.
- oil is also reaching the HLA assembly 46 through the passage 240 but the pressure is not high enough to move the piston 210 .
- FIG. 4B identifies valve lift and cam degrees for the condition shown in FIGS. 4 and 4A .
- the rocker arm 40 has rotated 2.72 degrees. Because the HLA assembly 46 is rigid, the first spigot 70 will force the first socket 72 against the valve bridge 42 causing the first valve 50 to move off a first valve seat 170 . In this example, the first valve 50 moves off the first valve seat 170 a distance of 2.85 mm. It will be appreciated that other distances (and degrees of rotation of the rocker arm 40 ) are contemplated.
- the second valve 52 remains closed against a second valve seat 172 .
- the collar 138 on the second spigot 130 while traveling toward the rocker arm 40 , has not yet reached the rocker arm 40 .
- the second spigot 130 remains in contact (through the second socket 132 ) with the rocker arm 40 .
- the rocker arm 40 has rotated further counter-clockwise around the rocker shaft 34 .
- the rocker arm 40 has rotated 4.41 degrees.
- the HLA assembly 46 remains rigid and the first spigot 70 continues to force the first socket 72 against the valve bridge 42 causing the first valve 50 to move further off the first valve seat 170 .
- the first valve 50 moves off the first valve seat 170 a distance of 4.09 mm. It will be appreciated that other distances (and degrees of rotation of the rocker arm 40 ) are contemplated.
- the collar 138 has made contact with the rocker arm 40 and both the first and second valves 50 and 52 will be opened concurrently.
- oil is also reaching the HLA assembly 46 through the passage 240 but the pressure is not high enough to move the piston 210 .
- FIG. 5B identifies valve lift and cam degrees for the condition shown in FIGS. 5 and 5A .
- the rocker arm 40 has rotated further counter-clockwise around the rocker shaft 34 .
- the rocker arm 40 has rotated 12.9 degrees.
- the rocker arm 40 has rotated 12.9 degrees and the first and second valves 50 and 52 are at maximum lift off their valve seats 170 and 172 .
- the first and second valves 50 and 52 are displaced 15.2 mm off their respective valve seats 170 and 172 .
- the oil supply passage 160 in the rocker arm 40 is fully disconnected from the connecting passage 158 of the central pressurized oil supply conduit 152 and is now connected to the vent oil conduit 154 by way of the vent lobe 157 .
- FIG. 6A oil is also reaching the HLA assembly 46 through the passage 240 but the pressure is not high enough to move the piston 210 .
- FIG. 6B identifies valve lift and cam degrees for the condition shown in FIGS. 6 and 6A .
- FIGS. 7-7B the rocker arm 40 is rotating clockwise back through the closing side.
- the needle 100 stays downward because the pressurized oil coming from the oil supply passage 160 is released through a first and second auxiliary channel 260 and 262 and the HLA assembly 46 stays soft.
- the bridge 42 attains contact again with the plunger assembly 60 pushing it to compress. Oil released from the plunger assembly 60 is pushed through the passageway 270 ( FIG. 7A ). Pressure built up in the piston assembly 60 due to the piston assembly 60 compression is now able to move the accumulator piston 210 leftward as viewed in FIG. 7A .
- FIG. 7B identifies valve lift and cam degrees for the condition shown in FIGS. 7 and 7A .
- the rocker arm 40 continues to rotate clockwise back through the closing side.
- the needle 100 stays downward because the pressurized oil coming from the oil supply passage 160 is released through the first and second auxiliary channels 260 and 262 and the HLA assembly 46 stays soft.
- the piston assembly 60 is further pushed to compress and the oil released from the piston assembly 60 continues to flow through the passageway 270 ( FIG. 8A ).
- the stroke of the accumulator piston 210 is sufficient to open the release hole 230 on the piston housing 226 allowing to release the excessive amount of oil coming from the piston assembly 60 collapsing.
